As the curator of several museums inTwo Point Museum, you’ll be tasked with making them successful. This means, most of all, you’ll need to have exhibits to show to the public, and you’ve got a variety of themes to pick from or focus on, from prehistoric items to the edible, man-eating, or just plain weird Botany ones.
Every type of exhibit needs to be cared for properly or else it’ll end up with zero buzz, ruined, in the case of botanical exhibits, withered. If you don’t keep them healthy, you’ll have a bunch of dead plants on your museum’s hands and all the cash spent on the expeditions will have gone to waste.
Botany Exhibits, Explained
Botany isone of the six major themesyou have access to for Exhibits, and it’sone of the more unique types, as it’s simultaneously important and optional, though they also have theirown Enlightenment branch with plenty to unlock.
Unlockedinitially from the Bone Beltvia one of the Points of Interest,Bigfoot Gardens, Botany Exhibitsdon’t get a map that focuses on themlike the other themes, andinstead get featuredon every mapeither as a key objectiveor as anoptional exhibit typeyou can start getting.
A lot of themoffer low to mid-tier Buzz but bring high donations, even ones with an Average rarity, and there areseveral that need other specialized Expertsto get access to them, like thePalm Treefound at Overgrown Jungle on Two Point Searequires aMarine Expert and a Botany Expertto go and find it.
Due to how they work, Botany Exhibits are agreat way to add extra incometo your museum as long as you canafford their more costly Expeditions, as they’ll fit in anywhere as youkeep them awayfrom Exhibits that needDry or Cold Climates.
How To Care For Botany Exhibits
Keeping with them being alive,Botany Exhibits have a Health meterinstead of Grubbiness or Corrosion, and the biggestfactor that affects how quickly it depletesis whether the plant is in theproper environmentor not.
Some map locations, such asBungle Wastelandand Pebberly Heights, arenaturally hot and humid, and you don’t need to put down Heaters or Misters for your Botany Exhibits.
Every Botany Exhibit has aspecific type of environment it needs, andmost oftenthey need to beboth Hot and Humidto thrive, thoughsome don’t need anythinglike the Peek-a-Lily Pads.
To change the climate for your Botany Exhibits, you’ll need toput climate-changing machines like the Heater and Misterin their area tochange the temperature or humidityaccordingly.
you’re able to bring up a museum-wide visualization of the Temperature, Humidity, Buzz, and other levels by selecting one of the options in the Visualization section on the far right side of the bottom menu panel.
Any plant with a climate requirement needs to have at least itssize plus two tiles around in each direction within the climateto be considered in theright environment, or else you’ll get apop-up symbol over the Exhibitindicating what’s missing.
If theyaren’t in the proper environment, their Health will quicklydeplete until they completely witherand die. When this happens, theExhibit will be ruined, and the only thing you may do with it issell it for cash or analyze it.
Botany Exhibits can alsoshare environmentswithout issueas long as they aren’t opposites, such as one thatonly needs a Humid Environment, like the Sickly Pear, beingable to live next to one that needs both Hot and Humid Environments, like the Blooming Buffoon.
The announcer will also periodically tell you that an Exhibit is in the wrong environment via the PA systemas long as at least one is being improperly cared for.

Besides the event,some Points of Interest and Obstructions requireat least one staff member to haveSurvival Skills to make an Expeditionto them at all.
Havingboth Survival Skills and Survey Skills on a single Botany Expert is one of the best skill combos overall, and you may still have enough skill slots to upgrade one to their level two version, and another to the level three version.
Survey Skillsis one of thebest ways to get high-quality Exhibitsas itincreases the Survey Rate of any Expedition by 30at a rank one version of the skill, and itstacks based on the number of staff with it and skill ranks.
